this is making me bonkers recently Ive been rendering my background in Bryce and imported it into Poser for final rendering works fine except when I have a moon in the sky it gets pixaleted at the edges... Ive tried fine rendering and I use the size of the Bryce rendering ??????? anyone knows how to solve this???

try a bg that is larger than the final poser image

nope still not good any other ideas anyone???? am I the only one that has run in to this problem???

samples?

ok saved as bmp and changed into jpeg

will attempt to duplicate yours....

my desktop resolution is set at 1024x768. I render full-screen in bryce, fine-art anti-alias. poser imports the background and displays it at this size. I will post the backgrond in a new thread. Try mine.

I would suggestfully utilising the Bryce renderer... i.e. when you've got the pose right, export the objects and import them into your original Bryce scene. That way, not only do you solve the problem of pixellated moons but you get the models rendered better as well! It may well take a little longer, but the results will be well worth it!

Ive been doing that for years but when I want a different look I like to use Poser for the render.. I cant figure out why this happens with the Bryce rendered files I have a moonpic Ive dowloaded somewhere and that works fine no distortion in the edges I post it here and youll see the differens inyerface ...yours are better but if you look closely you have a distortion around the edges also

this might help, when i bring a bryce background i render to disk at 300 dpi - for example if i wanted a 13x19 print i would use bryce to render to disk 300 dpi at 19 inches x 13 inches. that is the file i bring into poser. when all else fails, i load it photoshop englarge the image to view pixels plus another 20%. select the smudge tool set to 22% with very small brush setting and gently go over the edge of moon - works very well. Hope this helps

Have a look at www.nerd3d.com , he has a moonprop with texture for free ,to use in poser.maybe it helps

Someone suggested using a plane as background and apply the pic to it and that works fine didnt want to do it in post work since its very hard to do without it showing thanks for your suggestions
